Why Butcher Blair Must Go

I voted in the recent elections, by postal ballot. Where I could, I voted for Respect / George Galloway. Where I couldn’t, I voted for the Lib Dems as being the least appalling of the options.

I will never vote (New) Labour again while Butcher Blair is leader of the party.

And it looks like a lot of other lifetime Labour voters are thinking similarly. Labour have now lost 476 councillors in the elections, leading to loss of control of 8 councils.

That’s 476 Labour councillors punished by the electorate in a direct protest of the illegal invasion of Iraq. But Butcher Blair seems unbowed and unrepentant, despite this massive failure for his New Labour project:

“With the Butler inquiry into the handling of intelligence on Iraq due to report next month, Downing Street is drawing up contingency plans. Many backbenchers want the government to defuse anger by apologising, arguing that ministers could concede that, while they acted in good faith on the best evidence against Saddam Hussein, intelligence reports were not accurate.

Blair is understood to see no need for an apology and has argued publicly that the broader pattern seen by intelligence services is unlikely to have been wrong.”(Source: The Guardian)

No need for apology? Where are the WMDs? Where are the enormous stockpiles of weapons pointed at Britain and ready to launch a devastating attack “within 45 minutes?”

More than that: where are the 10,000+ innocent Iraqi civilians killed as a result of Blair’s insane warmongering? What were their lives sacrificed for?

Nothing.

Just the petty political machinations of another deluded psychopath who believes he has a personal hotline to God. Tony Blair took this country to war under false pretences, manufacturing fake dossiers as and when needed, massaging every piece of propaganda fed to the media.

And then this country, in league with the USA, rained missiles and cluster bombs and bullets and shells and mortars down upon Iraq until Red Cross workers retreated in horror at the truckloads of dismembered victims. We never got to see those pictures on our TV, of course.

This is what Roland Huguenin, one of six International Red Cross workers in the Iraqi capital, said:

“There has been an incredible number of casualties with very, very serious wounds in the region of Hilla. We saw that a truck was delivering dozens of totally dismembered dead bodies of women and children. It was an awful sight. It was really very difficult to believe this was happening.”

We killed all those civilians. Us. We committed the biggest terrorist atrocity this year, far bigger by orders of magnitude than anything Al Quaeda has pulled off.

Can you see now why I call him Butcher Blair? How can someone who is a human being, who himself has children, be so completely uncaring about the lives of tens of thousands of people. How can any sane person treat those lives like pawns in a political chess match, sacrificing them without a second thought?

Can you see the arrogance of the man? He’s directly responsible for every death caused by British forces, for every Iraqi prisoner tortured, for every child now sitting with missing limbs as a result of British cluster bombs.

All for nothing.

And yet, he still sees no need to apologise.

We mounted the biggest marches in British political history against his criminal crusade and he paid no attention.

Now, his party gets its worst ever ‘kicking’ at the polls and he still remains sanguine.

There’s a monster living at 10 Downing Street. Worse than anything you’ll see at your local multiplex, more evil than any serial killer this country has ever produced.

Still… never mind, eh? The football’s on telly… let’s just forget about it all, eh?
